If you have a recording to add and recommend, please do! This page has instrumental examples, but we need to add a list of choral recordings.
Recordings
As a teacher of young musicians, it is essential to give your students good examples of great sounds on their instruments. Ed Schoendorf explains “In today’s world, it seems that fewer young wind and percussion students have the time, money or opportunity to study their instrument privately. While not nearly a substitute for private instruction, a good recording can at the very least serve as a model for the young wind or percussion student. Recordings are also an indispensable supplement to any private studio and will help students as they develop a mature sense of characteristic sound and musicality as applied to their specific instrument.”
